WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO

  • Very high starch—small bowls add up fast in carbs
  • Low fat ratio unless topped with butter/oil
  • Easier to overeat due to light volume and snacking nature

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Whole-grain hulls provide fiber and polyphenols (when air-popped)
  • Lower calorie density than chips per popped cup—helps portion awareness
  • Can satisfy a crunchy craving if strictly limited

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

STANDARD PREPARATION

Enjoy air-popped with a measured 1–2 cup portion; add a light drizzle of butter or olive-oil and salt.

SAVORY MINI BOWL

Toss a small portion with parmesan-cheese and olive-oil for better fat ratio.

SWEET (KETO-STYLE)

Dust lightly with cinnamon and a pinch of allulose—skip sugary coatings.
